A Prospective Randomnised Controlled Trial Comparing Overall Patient Compliance in a Bariatric Surgical Pathway Using the Standard Versus a More Intensified and Interactive Version of the "Get Ready" Smartphone Application.
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of a newly intensified digital platform following bariatric surgery. This will be measured using several questionnaires. The following objectives will be evaluated: the exact amount of weight loss achieved preoperatively with the preparatory diet; the occurrence of dumping symptoms; the assessment of quality of life (QOL); and compliance with supplement intake.
By examining the impact of an enhanced digital platform, we aim to address critical questions regarding the effectiveness of improved patient support in the digital domain. Moreover, given the increasing prevalence of bariatric surgery as a therapeutic option for obesity, it is of utmost importance to identify strategies to optimize patient education and support through digital tools. This study not only contributes to the scientific understanding of digital support in bariatric care but also has important implications for the further development of the "Get Ready" application, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of providing comprehensive and patient-centered support in the evolving landscape of bariatric surgery.
Inclusion: Patients undergoing bariatric surgery.
Exclusion: Previous bariatric surgery.
